--------------------------------------------------------------------------------A nation of one ancestry and race is weak. We must hold strong our custom of welcoming all foreigners who seek to join our cause, treating them with dignity and respect and teaching them our language and customs.

The Tribe grew quite a bit on Sunday.? Frankly I don't come close to remembering all the ascensions that took place and at the time told people to remind me at info@dogbrothers.com should they not see their names appear.

These I do remember:

Gints Klimanis is now "Baltic Dog"Mike de Lio is now "Scrappy Dog"

Greg Brown is now "C-name to be decided later"Milt Tinkoff is now "C-Devil Dog"Rog Tinkoff is now "C-Space Dog"Dave Rothburg is now "C-Stray Dog"Richard Estepa is now "C-Seeing Eye Dog"

Ryan Gruhn is now "Dog Ryan"Richard Estepa is now "Dog Richard"Tim Ferguson is now "Dog Tim"D.A. is now "Dog DA"Mo Estepa is now "Dog Mo"Tony Caruso is now "Dog Tony"

several others

To the new members of the Tribe, a hearty woof of congratulations and likewise to the newly ascended.

Greg Brown now has his Dog Name: Greg "C-Cyborg Dog" Brown. The name was given to him this past weekend at the "Die Less Often II: Bringing a gun to a knife fight" seminar with Gabe Suarez and yours truly for his actions as the BG knifer in various drills.

9-0 (DOG TOM!), My Dad and I send our congrats! Hawaii is possibly on the radar for 2008 so I hope to see you and the rest of the group then! It's a bummer you weren't still in State College, my Dad's going to be attending the TITAN FITNESS Crafty Dog seminar at the end of the month and he would have loved to have partnered up with you.

This truly is an honor I can only hope to live up to. I will do my best to get to a gathering to earn my name. I look forward to the opportunity to learn from so many outstanding persons and martial artists.Hey Ryan, I wish I could come back to train with you guys. I miss the old gym. I cruise the Titan website periodically. I think about it often and all the memories bring a smile to my face. Probably has some ghosts, but they are all in our corners. It was great to see your dad. I hope I look that good!I start a new job on Monday and there is much travel involved. I hope to get a trip that swings through LA (and Happy Valley).Howls of thanks to all!tom
